Best margarine/butter: Earth Balance

Let’s be honest here: there’s really no butter, margarine or refined oil that is technically good for you. But on a relative scale, Earth Balance is the best of the bunch.

It’s made from 100% vegetable oil and ingredients, so there’s no cholesterol to clog your arteries. And it has no trans-fats which are just as bad for your health (if not worse).

It is solid in the refrigerator, but softens at room temperature and melts just above — practically to the properties of butter. And the taste is great too. The Earth Balance web site claims it “won a Best Taste award by the American Culinary Institute three years in a row,” and I don’t doubt it. This is yummy stuff. It works great when baking, too.
